Main

Byron C. Jaeger

I am an Assistant Professor of Biostatistics. I work in the School of Public Health at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

My research focuses on describing the role of diurnal (night-time) blood pressure patterns in developing cardiovascular disease and building predictive algorithms that can be used to support clinical decision-making.
